During 0:49 in this interview from Monday 16 May 2016 (image captured below), John Kasich, continues, "... endorsing is going to mean a lot, and frankly, ah, my wife and my daughters have watched this - and if I were to turn around today and endorse him [Trump], they'd be like, 'Why Dad?' - and that matters to me."

Just after he says, 'Why Dad?', Kasich displays the following nonverbal microexpressionanger cluster of signals :

Jaw Jut

Glaring Eyes

Tension in his Lower Eyelids

Mid-facial Tension

Nostril Flaring

... but in this moment Governor Kasich is also displaying empathy with his wife and daughters - for in his verbal referencing of them, he's also momentarily stepping inside of their shoes and feeling their emotions - AND thus anticipating the anger he would expect them to have.

Please watch this video several times to more fully appreciate this particular body language dynamic.
